Hytale Permission Denied: Fix Admin Commands
If you see "You do not have permission" when running commands, your account is not an operator or the permission file did not load correctly.
Quick Checks
| Check | Why It Fails | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Operator status | Account not promoted | Run /op your_username in server console |
| Permission file | File missing or malformed | Regenerate or restore from backup |
| Server not restarted | Permission changes not applied | Restart the server after edits |
Step-by-Step Fix
- Grant operator status. In server console, run:
/op your_username
- Confirm your account name. Typos will create a different profile and won’t grant permissions.
- Check permission files. Verify the permissions file exists and matches the server setup guide.
- Restart after edits. Changes to permission files require a restart to load.
Tip: If console commands work but in-game commands do not, you may be logged in with a different account than the one you op’d.
